What Is A Disposable Vape?
Disposable vapes, also known as "puff bars," are a type of all-in-one e-cigarette. These devices come with a fully pre-charged battery and a pre-filled pod filled with vape juice (usually nic salt vape liquids), lasting up to 600 puffs/600 inhales. There's a wide range of disposable vape flavours, from fruit flavour profiles like Strawberry Raspberry Cherry Ice to refreshing bold flavours like Fresh Menthol.
FAQ
How many puffs do disposable vapes have?
Every branded disposable vape varies in puff count. Some offer as low as 400 puffs, some as high as 2000 puffs, but most offer 600 puffs. REMEMBER: Your device's “puff count” is just an average and may change based on your vaping habits.
How many cigarettes are in a Standard disposable vape?
Standard disposable vapes typically offer around 600 puffs, which is the equivalent nicotine content found in 40 cigarettes. So, you’re likely not only getting healthier by using disposables compared to combustible cigarettes but also saving lots of money!
Can I reuse a Disposable Vape device?
Unlike rechargeable vape kits, these devices are designed for a single use only. Each device is filled with equal quantities of e-liquid and battery life, so they’re tailored to “meet in the middle” and run out in parallel. The vape liquid is supposed to run out at the same time that the battery depletes. Once the e-liquid runs out or the battery is depleted, the device needs to be recycled, nothing more!
Why choose disposable vapes over refillable devices?
Disposable vapes deliver a satisfying nicotine hit, offering mouth-to-lung MTL inhalation on the go. Refillable vapes are often more expensive to buy outright (and maintain), so it can be very useful for most vapers to take a single-use device. However, disposable vapes cost more in the long run. These devices are considered by many vapers as the “closest you can get to cigarettes without smoking” because disposable vapes mimic the experience of smoking traditional cigarettes to satisfy those nicotine cravings.
What is the highest nicotine strength in a disposable vape?
Disposable vape devices are required to have a strength of 20mg/ml or lower.
Are big puff bars disposable?
For the most part no – most big puff devices are typically not disposable. These devices contain pods filled with e-liquid and can be recharged repeatedly. Big puff vape kits are great for those looking for a versatile device that looks like a disposable one that can be used without being recycled!
However, some big puff disposables, like the Titan 10K, BM6000, and Pixl 6000, are disposable because their pods and coils cannot be replaced. Once the e-liquid is used up, these devices must be thrown away entirely. Some big puff models are fitted with replaceable pods, allowing the device itself to be reused long-term.

Why has my disposable vape stopped working?
This is a super common question and it’s a phenomenon that can be linked to a number of factors, some are standard problems that correlate to the lifespan of the device. Here’s some troubleshooting issues and tips:
- The disposable has run out of battery. Here’s a standard battery test: Inhale on the mouthpiece; if the device doesn’t light up, it’s likely the battery is dead.
- The disposable has run out of liquid. The only way to tell if your device is out of liquid is if the light is still on but you’re not getting any vapour.
- Your device may have been left on its side, causing the wicking material to absorb onto only one side of the pod. This can lead the user to believe that the device has expired. To avoid this, always store your disposable vape devices upright to ensure even absorption.
- Your device could be fake. Counterfeit disposable vapes can look almost virtually identical to genuine products. These devices are often manufactured illegally, so they don’t have the same top-quality vapour control or flavourings you’d expect from an actual device.
